The Farmer First Principle In Politics Of Peel Corn Law
A British letter argues that agriculture forms the foundation of a nation and condemns the reflex to favor manufactures over farming. It supports a variable duty on grain tied to abroad prices to protect farmers, reduce dependence, and keep bread affordable, warning fixed duties injure both farmer and consumer. It cites Denmark and Hamburg costs and criticizes the current policy as enabling foreign grain and harming domestic prosperity.

Lawsuit over Royal Expenses Between Duke and Brunswick
In a complex 1840 case before the Rolls Court a dispute over costs between the Duke of Brunswick and the Duke of Cambridge arose. Brooksbank and Farn settled a bill of costs, including a 1500 payment, amid allegations of misaccounting and improper settlement. Baron Andlau and others later disputed the entries, with claims that proper bills were not delivered and that an improper advantage may have occurred. The matter remained unresolved at adjournment.
